What browser_unblock does on Termux Browser Pilot
AI agents call browser_unblock to permanently remove resources in Termux Browser Pilot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why browser_unblock is rated Critical
Removing entries from a blocklist is an irreversible security configuration change that cannot be easily undone in an automated context. It weakens security controls by re-allowing previously blocked URLs, which could expose the browser to malicious sites. This is closer to Destructive than Write because it removes a security restriction rather than just modifying data reversibly.

The rule that runs browser_unblock safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Termux Browser Pilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For browser_unblock, this is the rule to start with:
browser_unblock is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Termux Browser Pilot, apply this rule, and every browser_unblock call is checked against it from then on.
